Packaging Warehousing, Stock Holding & Just-In-Time (JIT) Call-Off
One of the biggest hurdles facing expanding British brands is balancing per-unit packaging costs against physical warehouse storage limitations. Ordering 2,000 boxes every month results in high unit costs, repeated setup fees, and constant reorder anxiety. But ordering 50,000 units upfront consumes valuable warehouse floor space that should be dedicated to revenue-generating inventory.
Our Packaging Stock Holding & Call-Off Service eliminates this dilemma. We print and convert your packaging in one large, cost-effective manufacturing run, warehouse the palletized finished stock in our secure UK logistics facility, and deliver pallets to your premises on demand within 24 to 48 hours of your call-off request.
How Our Call-Off Service Works
| Step | Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Annual Forecast & Quoting | We agree on an annual or bi-annual volume forecast (e.g. 20,000 – 100,000 units), securing maximum volume bulk discounts. |
| 2 | Single Production Run | We manufacture the entire batch in a single high-efficiency production run, ensuring absolute print consistency and lowest unit cost. |
| 3 | Free Warehousing | Your palletized inventory is stored in our clean, temperature-controlled UK warehouse facility for up to 6 months. |
| 4 | JIT Pallet Call-Off | When your packing lines require stock, you trigger a call-off via email or phone. Pallets are dispatched immediately via tail-lift courier. |
| 5 | Pay As You Draw Down | Commercial billing terms allow you to pay as individual pallets are called off, freeing up vital working capital for marketing and growth. |
